Third-Time’s the Charm For Clinton?
Clinton lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to Barack Obama. She beat Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nod in 2016.
Would she want to give it another shot? Are people simply reading too much into her very prominent criticism of Trump?

Earlier this week, Trump took to Twitter to taunt Clinton. He dared her to run again in 2020.
Crooked Hillary should try it again! https://t.co/UjfIpZp1FA

Clinton’s among the most effective at trolling Trump on Twitter. She was quick to respond to his jab.
Don’t tempt me. Do your job.

Later, in an interview with PBS reporter Judy Woodruff, Clinton insisted that she was only joking.

She warned American voters what Trump was truly all about. Three years later, Trump faces an impeachment inquiry from the House of Representatives. The layers of his administration’s corruption continue to be peeled back.
It's becoming a challenge to keep up with the high crimes and misdemeanors.

Clinton’s being proven correct. Her predictions about what would happen to America under a Trump Presidency are coming to fruition.
Does that mean she’s planning to run again? Of course not.
“(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.” Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!

But Clinton is a skilled politician. She’s well aware of the permanent space she’s rented inside Trump’s head. He beat her for the Presidency, and yet he’s still obsessed with her.
Continuing to mess with his mind is just another way she can help the Democrats win in 2020.
It’s A Mad, Mad (2020 Election) World
Let’s face it. American politics currently finds itself in uncharted waters.
Is Trump going to be impeached? Will he resign? Might Republicans finally decide they’ve had enough and cut ties with him?
No one knows the answer to any of these questions. As well, no one knows how deep the current scandal involving Trump’s attempts to pressure the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt on 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden will end up going.
By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

For the first time in this election cycle, there are several other Republican candidates listed among the top-20 contenders. They include Vice-President Mike Pence, 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
As well, there are other wild-card candidates like former First Lady Michelle Obama and even Oprah Winfrey.
The truth is that Clinton isn’t likely to be running in 2020. But at this point, just who might be opposing each other for President in the next election is anybody’s guess.
